WHAT'S ON TAP NOW

THE UNDERMINER — Grissette

5.0 abv — 18 ibu — A historical style from the early/mid 20th century, the Grisette was a light un-spiced beer served to miners when they came out of the mines. It’s basically a light saison style ale that’s the closest thing to a pilsner we make.

BOB'S YOUR UNCLE — Session ESB (extra special bitter)

4.1 abv — 40 ibu — Contrary to its style name, there is little bitterness in this smooth brew. We've taken the typical ESB and made a light and refreshing version. You'll find this to be quite the thirst quencher with a subtle bit of malt and honey coming through.

SMACK — IPA

5.2 abv — 56 ibu — An AMMO version of a light west coast IPA that's easy to drink with a light citrusy hop profile and just the right amount of hop bite without the aftertaste. Think Two-Hearted but easier.

3.75 abv — 11 ibu — A refreshing Summer wheat ale with a hint of dark malt to make it pop providing a slight chocolate finish.

ROSEMARY’S BABY — Herbed Saison

9.3 abv — 21 ibu — It takes its deep golden color from Belgian blonde ales but layers in herbs from the AMMO garden built around a heavy dose of rosemary and lemon thyme. A bright refreshing start and a dry crisp finish define this innovative take on a traditional summer beer. Variations on this beer will be offered at different times, throughout the year, featuring a range of fresh herbs and seasonings available in our garden seasonally.

MARY ANN'S BANE — Saison with ginger and basil

6.3 abv — 22 ibu — A bright summer saison with a good bitter ginger background and a hint of basil. If you like Rosemary's Baby, give this one a try. You'll find it quite refreshing on a hot Summer afternoon.

4.4 abv — 12 ibu — A nice tart but balanced gose' with a slightly reddish hue. Subtle salt notes in the background heighten the tart flavors in contrast to the moment of orange on the lips just before it finishes.

5.0 abv — 40 ibu — A light and smooth version of our Black Racer Stout. No coffee here, just smooth creamy delight in a beer that won't fill you up. Definitely a stout for all seasons.

CRATER HOP BOMB — triple IPA

11.5 abv — 210 ibu — Our nod away from the west coast, an 11.5 abv triple IPA loaded with a 5-hop blend that everyone seems to love. During the boil, multiple doses of 5 different hops varieties characterize this fragrant and hop heavy brew. We top it off with two monster dry hop additions during fermentation with a secret Virginia twist for the smoothest super hoppy beer you’ll ever have.

TWO PIXIES — Seasonal Spiced Ale

8.8 abv — 40 ibu — A rich dark ale built on continental pilsner malts and fermented with irish ale yeast, this beer will warm your holiday soul with a background of Monitmorrency sour cherries, cinnamon, grade A Madagascan vanilla beans and fresh Virginia maple syrup from Bath County. With friends or alone with your thoughts...Two Pixies is a holiday in a glass.

-----

THE DICTATORTOT — Stout

8.2 abv — 100 ibu — A Lighter version of our beloved Dictator Russian Imperial Stout. You'll find this one just as rich but a bit more crisp and easy drinking.

THE DICTATOR — Russian Imperial Stout

10.7 abv — 100 ibu — The best beer we've ever brewed. A straight ahead Russian imperial stout with a heavy but balanced hop presence and a super creamy rich brown head. This is not one to miss.

TRIPING HAZZARD— Belgian Tripel

11.8 abv — 25 ibu — A hefty tripel, rich and boozy if that's your thing. Pairs well with bacon of all kinds.

BLACK RACER — Coffee and Cream Stout

4.5 abv — 45 ibu — A sessionable coffee and cream stout made with the best locally roasted coffees from Blanchards Roasters in Richmond, cold brewed to prevent bitterness. Black Racer is a creamy slow-sipping summer beer with enough weight to carry it through a hard cold winter of drinking in front of the fire.

RED BOLLING IPA — India Pale Ale

6.5 abv — 60 ibu — A wel balanced ale somewhere between an American Pale Ale and and IPA. A good drinkable brew with a balanced hop presence and just the right amount of maltiness. A favorite beer of Pocahontas' descendants.

8.0 abv — 49 ibu — A American brown ale with just a hint of honey and light sweetness leading to a dry and refreshing finish.

WALTMAN'S WIT — Wit bier

4.5 abv — 18 ibu — Sunshine in a glass... this light and refreshing wit (white) beer is great in multiples or accompanying just about any food you like. Drink it while it's cold and crisp. Were planning to have this one on the entire summer.

GOSE WITHOUT SAYING — GOSE

4.4 abv — 12 ibu — Gose is another historical beer style originally brewed in Gose Germany and popular in the early 20th c. Gose is a salt mine area, so the water is naturally salty. This beer’s flavor profile is centered around the subtle salt flavors, a bit of corriander, and the sour Montmorrancy cherries we’ve added to sharpen it up a bit. It’s a refreshing beer that sits well with people who say they are “not beer drinkers.”

MEYER GOSE — MEYER LEMON GOSE'

4.4 abv — 12 ibu — A good sour gose' (not quite as pocketable as our lime version). Nice and bright with a dose of tangy meyer lemon for a good sour kick.

7.1 abv — 60 ibu — Named for the early tavern located just a block from AMMO where the City's first council met. A Medium weight ale, malt forward with a light crispness from the use of English goldings hops.

6.8 abv — 30 ibu — We send fresh orange zest, Indian corriander, and star anise into the boil on this medium weight pale ale. Don’t let the color fool you. Many Belgian pale ales are quite dark in color. You’ll find this to be a complex but very drinkable ale where the spices inform the flavor without being overpowering.

BANISTER'S BENEDICTION — Old Ale

8.5 abv — 63 ibu — Rich English malts and a slight floral note coming from a dry hopping of crushed Indian coriander and Horizon hops make this old ale a great toast to the end of Winter.

BLACK RACER — Coffee and Cream Stout

4.5 abv — 45 ibu — A sessionable coffee and cream stout made with the best locally roasted coffees from Blanchards Roasters in Richmond, cold brewed to prevent bitterness. Black Racer is a creamy slow-sipping summer beer with enough weight to carry it through a hard cold winter of drinking in front of the fire.

La RESISTANCE — Bier de Gard

8.2 abv — 28 ibu — Named for the French Underground, this is a classic biere de gaud brewed with European malts and French hops. Malty and rich, this beer will get better as it ages. Taste it now then wait for the batch we’ve stored (garded) for the Spring.

$7.1 abv — 60 ibu — Members of the Bolling family who were descendants of John Rolfe and Pocahontas were known as the "Red Bollings" and included Robert Bolling the Petersburg tobacco magnate.

CASCADIAN — FRESH HOPPED IPA

5.2 abv — 70 ibu — Light and refreshing — brewed with all locally grown and malted 6-row barley from Longleaf Farms in Prince George and fresh hopped with Centennial and Cascade hops from Tom Burke just outside of town. We wish we could have this on all year but its super fresh so it won't last. Get it before it't gone!

5.5 abv — 72 ibu — A totally local brew using 6-Row barley grown and malted right here in Prince George at Longleaf Farms by Tony Kvasnicka. This has become my "go to" summer drinking beer.

BOLLING'S POINT PALE ALE — American Pale Ale

7.1 abv — 60 ibu — Named for the location of Robert Bolling's tobacco trading center on the Appomattox River in Old Town (the origins of Petersburg's colonial river trade), this American pale ale is well balance, slightly sweet, with a hop presence just under an IPA. This is a smooth easy drinking brew with a rich malty note perfect for our cooling evenings.

COTTONMOUTH — triple IPA (hop bomb w/out the oak conditioning)

11.5 abv — 210 ibu — A triple IPA as smooth as you could wish for with a blend of 5 superb hops and an intense double dry hop for aroma. Crater Hop Bomb fans better get this one before it's gone..

CHERRY SIDEWINDER— (gose' w/out saying')

4.4 abv — 12 ibu — Think of our cherry gose without the intense sourness. Light and refreshing and perfect for these late Summer, early Fall days.

LITTLE MONSTER IMPERIAL — Imperial IPA

FUP DUCK — Smoked Porter

5.6 abv — 46 ibu — Say it three time fast...You’ll find this porter to be surprisingly smooth with a smokey hint on the back end. We’ll be working with Saucy’s BBQ to smoke our own malts soon, so keep drinking this one and see how it develops.

9.1 abv — 26 ibu — A belgian tripel balancing a rich local honey from Busy Bee in Prince George County with several doses of Grapefruit freshly zested into the boil and the fermenters. The fields where Busy Bee's bees fly are surrounded by native wild flowers and poison ivy flowers giving this honey a rich an delicate flavor (don't worry, the poison ivy pollen won't make you itch!)

AMMO KOLSCH — Kolsch
